Who said?
For instance a Finnish author and specialist of Quechuan language from the epoch of 1550, Esko Korpilinna, wrote in 1967 in Finnish (Crying Gods/Apu-lehti) :
“ Thus the tradition of the Mayas, Incas and Aztecs mentions a WHITE, barbed nation as the source of their language and civilization. NO, the tradition doesn’t mention a nation but a few barbed men”.

There are many other sources:
Por su parte, los incas representaban a su dios creador, Viracocha, como un hombre viejo y barbudo.
http://www.gestae.com/Galeria/enigmas/enigma04.htm

Anyway Ullman and his Viking crew & ship disappeared.
I found only one surname (Ullman) with a perfect haplotype with the following results based on surname search:

8 Norway (Norwegian)
5 Antioquia, Colombia (Mestizo)
2 Nariño, Colombia (Mestizo)
2 Maracaibo, Venezuela (Mestizo)
2 Valle de Cauca, Colombia (Mestizo)
1 Bogotá, Colombia (Mestizo)
1 Atlántico, Colombia (Mestizo)
1 Costa Rica (Mestizo)
1 Iceland (Icelandic)
1 Quito, Ecuador (Mestizo)
1 Mexico City, Mexico (Mestizo)


This sounds like nonsense. First of all, Viking age Scandinavians didn't have surnames at all, and secondly it's quite possible some Ullmans have migrated in recent time. There is currently around 500 Ullman households in Sweden, for example. Checking the Ellis island records, 313 persons with that name entered the US between 1892 and 1924. Besides, "white" is a relative term, it doesn't have to mean the palest people around.

"Viejo and barbudo" don't mean blond blue eyed, just bearded and old. Nothing strange in pre-contact Americas.

Everybody has the right to study the basic facts about genetics.

Let’s take one link again:
The Lost Viking Ship
Around 967 AD, it was recorded that a Viking ship led by Ullmann on the way to Iceland was driven by strong ocean currents and blown off course. Could this ship have ended up in Central America?

http://archaeology.suite101.com/article.cfm/the_vikingmaya_connection
Ullman – they didn't tell that it was a SURNAME but anyway it means Man of Wool or Wollen/Woolly man.

Male names (patronymic) like Ullsson, Eriksson, Gunnarsson, Jonsson, Stefansson, Knutsson, Fjalarsson, Allvason, Ragnarsson etc actually mean son of his father – Fjalrsson = son of Fjalar.

In other words even the Scandinavian surnames are very old – nick names even older:

In most cultures, where confusion might exist between two persons with the same given name, the father's name was used to separate the two individuals. The Latin name for son, filius, thus becomes fils in French, fitz in Norman French, and vich, witz in the Slavic languages. In Ireland, the prefix O' signifies the son of, as Mac or Mc in Scottish names.

In northern Europe the patronymic was indicated by adding the father's given name to -son and -dotter in Sweden, -son and -datter in Danish and Norwegian. 

http://www.genealogi.se/namneng.htm

Patronymic nomenclature prevailed throughout the country from Viking days and until 1828, when it was banned by law in favor of family surnames as institutions like public education and conscription required that the authorities keep records on large numbers of people.
http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1085814,00.html

The Vikings didn’t have names, surnames or patronymic?
Leif Eriksson was born in Iceland sometime around 960 A.D.. His father, Erik the Red, moved to Iceland when Lief's grandfather, Thorvald, was expelled from Norway for killing a man during a dispute.
Of course his firs name was Leif and surname (patronymic)
Erik´s son. It was equal in the neighboring countries. In Finnish that man was surely Leevi Eerikinpoika.

Please don't pull my leg. Spanish is our mother tongue and I do not need any additional translation.

What is your source for that particular claim? When is that supposed to have happened?
 
Note that there also is a difference between an inherited surname and the practice of giving you kids you own name as a second name, with the suffix "son" or "daughter". I'm not saying that people didn't use surnames at all, because don't know, but there's a big difference between Eriksson and Ullmann, because Ullman doesn't follow that practise. Ullmann is a real surname, unlike Eriksson.

I don't know where people get the idea that precolumbian Native Americans didn't have bears. That's simply a myth, Moctezuma had one for example, and 8-Deer Jaguar Claw.

That's funny. Mapuches have lot of last names ended in "man", like Pangueman and Paineman. Well, "man" in Mapuche is the short form of "manque" (condor), and which is the name of a clan, the clan of the condor;  and has nothing to do with the nordic ending "man" that mean human male Confused

Sorry…hurry!

13 APPENDIX

inscription

on a tablet Marked No 1 (front).

By A. C arroll, M.A., M.D. October 6th, 1892.

Kindly lent By S. Percy Smith, Esq., F.R.G.S.  

"The bones of our ancestors of the Sun-fires, the masters of the beloved tribe of our sacred dead ancestors of the holy Sun-people, the people of the mountains, the Charcas, a holy clan. The Eagle chief was of these dead ancestors and their fires of the Sun and a master of the free Chunchas. The men of the two-sailed vessel came, attacked the Quichua. These gorging barbarians attacked the Sun's men and the Quito people and their rulers. They, the Snakes, took their places. The sacred ancestral fires in the coast-lands for seven years were extinguished, and among the Rapa people for six years. Then the chief of the Eagle tribes fought in the coast-lands for six years, and again the chief and the Eagle clan went to the coast lands for five years. etc….

When all this happened??

Please read all thoroughly. The estimated time is mentioned.

Too much wild lateral speculation going on there, I'm afraid. Mr Heyerdahl is quite well know for his wild speculations too. Sometimes he hit some truth, other times not.
Well, that's how I see it, your mileage may vary.
 
Edit: One example is the page where he suggest an Celtic - American link, where he jumps in time drastically, and use pre-Celtic construction and artefact together with Celtic language as evidence for a link. That is under section ten.

I got you. You didn't understand me I am afraid. What I said is that when the natives captures women from the Europeans, sometimes they also capture male kids with theirs moms. That's the way those y-chromosomes entered to the tribe's genetic pool.
 
Easy. Isn't?

Re: They captured male kids?
OK! It is another logical story

It seems that you know Aymaran, Quechuan and Mapuche/Mapudungun word WAMPU. There is a river in Honduras (Miskito-area) called Rio Wampu. In Indonesia they have one Wampu River more.
Yangtze River in China is called as well “Wampu River”.

Can we make any conclusions?

yes

that the inventory of sounds human beings can make is relatively limited and that you're therefore always going to find similarities between non-related languages.

On a side note, in Nicaragua there's the Pis Pis River. Does that mean the Ancient Nicaraguans were actually rude Englishmen?

Not many conclusions. Wampu in mapuche and quechua mean canoe. In Aymara mean born in a day of carnival Confused. Besides, "pichi" in Mapuche means small, while in spanish mean pee.. Confused 
 
Names repeat across languages.

Hmm, why did you bring up Ullman then? That name might have travelled to SA anytime during the past 300 years.

Ullman doesn't mean wool man by the way - Ull is an old Scandinavian god.
With surname I meant family name, which I do believe was obvious.

Anyhow, I checked that up since I found it quite suspicious. And it was. Apparently the whole Ullman episode was invented in the early 20th century: the story also contains Jews tricking Columbus into finding America so they could go there and crush the "Nordic" empire being built up in the Western hemisphere, threatening the Jewish plans of world conquest. Pure Nazi bullcrap, in other words.

According to “Vocabvlario de la Lengva AYMARA” printed in 1612 in Juli, Peru, huampu (wampu) means a boat.

ULLMAN?
Better to ask here:

or here:

2) in year 967, the Viking Ullman Jarl touched ground with Panuco, in the Gulf of Mexico. It is the second arrival, the "last arrival" of the white men for the Mayas.

Sorry, it's nonsense. Invented by French and German Nordicists in the early 20th century. The author of the sites you mentioned should have checked their sources.

So? Mapuche, Aymara and Quechua are related languages that share quite a lot of vocabulary. I know that because I am Chilean and I live beside the Andes.
Now, if in Quechua and Mapuche wampu means a boat, it is very likely in Aymara does as well. as a second acception.
 
Now, by just coincidence it may be possible that in other languages around the world similar words mean boat as well, But that doesn't prove any direct relation at all. There are many similar words in unrelated languages. For instance, Chile meant cold in ancient Quechua, and it is pronounced the same as the english word "Chilly". That's just a coincidence.
